I think these will be in royals 88 wc numbers, im hoping not though. I wonder how many of the Shadow 1 na's were made?
go to da grey market thread and read up.
I heard that the NA Is are all produced around the same number it's just that more pairs of the royals were released overseas than US. And the WC 88s restocked a few times so who truly knows how limited this possible "qs" will be?
Alot of stores had left over shadows... does that mean people werent buying them? Kinda weird... But All grey is too neutral to have hype maybe.
I'm probably going to do the same thing that I did two years ago. Get the grey market early (if price is reasonable), wear them immediately, cop the retail version when they come out (gonna get two pairs this time), beat grey market pair into the ground, and then eventually bring the retail version out. However, in 2011, my pairs only lasted for a few months each. My favorite Jordans ever I couldn't help but to wear them ALL the time. College life was not kind to them
How old are you? Shoes aren't stocks.
Very nice pic.
But yes, really.
I don't need a new pair to wear. My '94's are gone. Kept my '01's DS.
So why would I want them to come out and de-value my pair?
No one else understands this?
I am being selfish.

I will try conventional methods, pay for NDC bots, pay for Twitter RSVP, and be ready to pay resale if all else fails. I already have the money set aside to pay $400/pair for two pairs on release date if I have to. I think that will be enough. Not waiting a few months for resale prices to drop on this release because with the amount of people that WILL be wearing these I think they are going to dry up pretty quickly on the resale market and prices will go up like crazy after that.
These would still sell out at $220.
And that my friend is our (as consumers) fatal mistake.If by some miracle we collectively STOPPED buying,then no later than a blink of an eye,Nike -and "every Nike" for that matter- would immediately lower its prices and/or improve its lame quality.WE increase prices NOT Nike.101 basic economics stuff.Some people have difficulty realizing this simple truth and Nike really likes this...
Repped.
It's really just a reflection of prices on the secondary market. People feel like they're getting a discount by paying retail for a shoe that resells for $80-100 more. So why not charge more if you're nike and you know you can? Obviously the demand will fall (if only slightly) as prices rise but that's not necessarily a bad thing for them if they're selling at a significantly higher margin.Repped.
Prices WILL Increase until it starts affecting sales. Problem is, all these "sneakerheads" know this, but JBs got them by the balls so tightly, they can't do anything about it, they think they NEED these shoes
